Singleton “Buddy” Arnold Dalton

Singleton “Buddy” Arnold Dalton, 72, of Hiddenite, left this world for his heavenly home on Saturday, March 10, 2018, after a brief illness, at his residence.

He was born on January 14, 1946, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the son of the late Randolph and Erie Holden Dalton. Before retirement, Buddy worked for Bassett Furniture as an upholsterer for over 25 years. He attended Sulphur Springs Baptist Church and loved to go fishing.
